Interchangeable Steering Wheel?

Post by 96B-Mike »

Could a 1992 Chevy Lumina van steering wheel be interchangeable with a 1996 Beretta?

I don't see why not, they all use the same splined shaft for mounting.

Yeah, almost all GM wheels are interchangeable. Got a Lumina wheel on the Beretta and a Cavalier wheel on the Camaro. Thinking about my spare Lumina wheel on my truck...

I put an early 90's cavy pre-airbag wheel in my 95 Beretta. I had to cut some of the foam and vinyl off that back of the steering wheel to clearance my steering column. Very easy to do with a sharp razor, not hard at all. Lumina car steering wheels are the same as cavy wheels basically they just have a larger grip diameter.

When I first bought my '95 Z-26 (I've bought it twice, thinking about buying it again), the top of the steering-wheel had been picked-apart by some bored @$$-O! in traffic (that poor car has truly suffered). I don't much care for airbags anyway, so I dropped-in the same Lumina (Z-34) steering wheel. I saw pics of yours later on bstuff, and had to do a double-take! Mine squeaks when it is cold though, as the back of the wheel rubs on the steering-column. I could cut it down a little, but I never got around to it.

:burn: My spare Lumina wheel will probably go into one of my '88 Camaros, along with the '84 Berlinetta dash and center-console, customized red-faced gauges with a 140mph speedometer from a Trans Am, three-panel taillights from a '91 RS Camaro, custom-built headlights, functional cowl-induction hood with direct air-cleaner top-feed and air-extractor fenders from an '82 Trans Am, front bumper-cover and front ground-effects from an '89 Firebird, sway-bars from a 1LE Camaro (not installed yet), 3.08 rear-disc Posi Diff from an '84 (or was it '85? '86?) Z-28, 350 SBC from an '88 3/4-ton GMC Vandura travel-van, and severely ported Cross-Fire intake from an '82 Z-28 (which runs great with the 350 off of the car's original 305 TBI ECU, and will stomp on my '89 RS Camaro with a 350 Police Special from an '89 Caprice, both cars have the same T-5 five-speed and same gearing, though the RS's is through a Borg-Warner 9-bolt rear-disc Posi instead of the weaker 10-bolt in the CFI car -I do have another 9-bolt Posi for that car, but I won't install it until I can replace the bent axle-shaft and replace the gear-set to the hated 2.77 -I like low RPMs on the highway :pardon: ).

Seems to me that I have to find myself a nice Lumina steering wheel. I hate thin steering wheels because my hands are too big to fit around them comfortably. The giant bus steering wheel in my 83 Jimmy nearly turned my hands into permanent claws because of how thin it was. Try wrangling a big 4WD with 35" mud tires, no swaybars and flexy front springs and you can see why I was in so much pain.

I replaced it with a 91 Chevy C10 steering wheel and it was 100x better.
